My favourite poem is by Jenner Jacob’s. When I’m an old women……. I will wear purple.
It tells about the latter stage of life, when you reach the phase of not caring what anyone thinks of you. You are obliged to perform silly behaviours, like wearing slippers in the rain,running your cane along picket fences, learning to spit.

Stormy pinkness
Human weakness
Fills my johnny cup with gloom
Your progression
My digression
Forty days this afternoon
The things we cherish are small indeed
So much the larger the need
Stormy pinkness
Set me thanklessly free
